Eh, whatever seems right at the time.
That's not entirely true. I love books, more than is probably healthy, and old movies.
I also enjoy diamonds, furs, and handguns. (don't laugh -- I meant that.)
If I could meet anyone, ever, in the entire span of history...
It would be me, only organized.
Okay, no. I would pay good money to meet a few people, if only I had good money...
Kurt Vonnegut is a personal hero of mine, as is Charles Bukowski, (it doesn't get much better on a heartbreak kind of day than Tom Waits on the radio, cheap blush wine, a cigarette, and Charles Bukowski's poetry) Tom Waits, (why the hell not? It's my blurb) Amory Blaine, (I know he's not real) Hawkeye Pierce, (him either) Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and many many others.
And of course, to top them all, Theodore Roosevelt. I will someday run for office as a member of the BullMoose Party.
All kinds -- it's all about the mood...
Tom Waits is wonderful, but so are the Sex Pistols. And virtually everything in between.
Especially the Cure. Everyone (who matters) loves the Cure.
If it's in black and white, I probably like it. Or rediculous. I also enjoy rediculous.
A few favorites are PETRIFIED FOREST, ROMAN HOLIDAY, MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, (The original, and damn you for having to ask.) BIG BAD LOVE, and THE BIG LEBOWSKI. I love the Dude.
THE UNIT is my new favorite show -- it's fabulous.
I love cartoons. (long live HOME MOVIES!)
Other than that, eh. It's there.
It's a medium for football. I do enjoy football.
Yes, please. All of them.
Okay, real books.
Not your typical $5.99 from the shelf at the grocery store books.
There are better uses for paper.
Give me some Nabokov, some Vonnegut, some Faulkner, and I will be happy for hours.
J.D Salinger should have a shrine erected in his honor, a tribute from the troubled youth that find a friend in Seymore Glass.
Fitzgerald should have stopped while he was ahead, but Amory's story is well worth the rest.
There are too many more for me to continue now -- but know, all my avid readers, I will be back to list the rest.
Oh! Camus! I almost forgot a personal favorite, one who belongs near the top of my list. I am hanging my head, disapointed in myself.
Theodore Roosevelt. How can you not love the man? A god, compared to what we have (sadly) grown accustomed to. For shame! For shame! We should defend our country, and our honor... educate yourselves, America! Look back and see what we once were, and fight to become a great nation once more! (okay, now that I have successfully alienated anyone who was still reading, and offended many of my peers, I will speak no more of this.)
